TEACHING DESCRIPTIVE WRITING BY USING MAGNET SUMMARY STRATEGY TO THE EIGHTH GRADE STUDENTS OF MTS AISYIYAH PALEMBANG
No full textThe purpose of this study is to find out whether or not there is a significant
improvement on the eighth grade students‟ descriptive writing achievementtaught
by using Magnet Summary Strategyat MTs Aisyiyah Palembang before and after
the treatment and there isa significant difference on the eighth grade students‟
descriptive writing achievement between the students who aretaught by using
Magnet Summary Strategy and those who are not at MTs Aisyiyah Palembang.
The population of the study were 139 students from 4 classes. The sample were
68 students that were purposively taken from the eighth grade students of MTs
Aisyiyah Palembang in the academic year 2016/2017. An experimental method
was used in this study, especially quasi-experimental design with pre-test and
post-test non-equivalent group design. The data were collected by using writing
test. Based on the result of the data analysis calculated by using paired sample t�test, the p-output is 0.00 which was lower than the critical value 0.05. and the
result of independent t-test, the p-output is 0.00. Since the p-output was lower
than the means, the null hypothesis was rejected and alternative hypothesis was
accepted. It can be stated that there was a significant improvement on students‟
descriptive writing between those who are taught by using Magnet Summary
strategy and those who are not before and after treatment. Based on data
calculated by using paired sample t-test there was a significant difference on
students‟ descriptive writing achievement between those who are taught by using
Magnet Summary strategy and those who are not. It can be assumed that Magnet
Summary strategy could be used as an alternative strategy in teaching descriptive
writing

No full textCrossing the Border: The Depiction of India in Ian McDonald's River of Gods and Cyberabad Days
No full textIn this article I argue that Northern Irish author Ian McDonald's works, River of Gods (2004) and Cyberabad Days (2008), set in India deviate from the prevalent Orientalism of mainstream Western science fiction. Drawing on Shameem Black and Peter Heehs's theories of cross-cultural representation, I claim that despite its flaws the empathetic approach McDonald employs is very appropriate for border-crossing literature in this era of globalization. In this context, I posit that while a deep understanding of the culture is necessary for effective representation, overdependence on "native informants" may actually lead to fallacious expectations.Englis
Accidental Dystopias: Apathy and Happenstance in Critical Dystopian Literature
No full textIt is often the case that dystopian narratives are born out of a reaction against social, national, technological, or environmental trends as observed by the author of the text. In these cases, the dystopia depicted is frequently a warning against the direction towards which the author perceives his/her world to be headed. This is not the case with all dystopia, however, as more recent “critical dystopias,” as described by Tom Moylan in Scraps of the Untainted Sky, seem to take a more Utopian stance in their creation. Rather than depicting the ends to which we are headed, they posit a “critical utopia,” – one which presents a utopia that is not quite perfect and thus simultaneously acts as a criticism of its own genre – where the utopian tendency becomes the uncontrollable force that leads to dystopia (Sargent 9). It is from these types of dystopias that I take the term accidental dystopia, or those worlds which arise from seemingly altruistic, yet misguided, attempts to reshape the world towards the end of an egalitarian, utopic Eden.Englis
